Royaumont Abbey, Gothic abbey in Asnières-sur-Oise, France

The monastery features a preserved cloister, sacristy, and refectory, displaying intricate Gothic architectural elements from the 13th century construction period.

King Louis IX of France founded this Cistercian abbey in 1228 when he was fourteen years old, establishing it as a significant religious institution.

The Royaumont Foundation maintains the site as a cultural center since 1964, organizing musical performances, exhibitions, and artistic workshops throughout the year.

Located 30 kilometers north of Paris, the abbey offers guided tours of its gardens, buildings, and permanent exhibitions about its architectural and social history.

During World War I, the abbey transformed into Hospital 301, where Scottish medical teams treated soldiers from the Battle of the Somme.
